Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

Now that we have had time to reflect on the financial collapse. I would like to see all top level bankers that were involved in the 2008 financial collapse investigated. And if any mismanagement or fraudulent misconduct is found then prosecute the bankers accordingly.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We’re not sure what action you would like the Government or Parliament to take.

Investigations, arrests, prosecutions and sentencing are not the responsibility of Parliament and Government. These are matters for the police, the Crown Prosecution Service and the courts. The Financial Conduct Authority also has some responsibilities in this area. You can find out more about its role here:
